Strictly Come Dancing's week 6 songs and dances as Motsi Mabuse returns to judging panel

Strictly Come Dancing 's remaining seven couples are getting ready to fight for survival with another epic night of dance.

Tonight's episode will see Motsi Mabuse return to the judging panel after she was forced to stay home and self isolate following an "urgent" trip to Germany.

Pro dancer Anton du Beke, 54, who was partnered with Home Secretary Jacqui Smith this year but was the first to be booted out, will become the first professional dancer to be seated at the panel.

He replaced Motsi while she was away, but he's set to pass the baton back to her in the show this evening.
